Chat about psoriasis-glasses

No photos today, as I am designing and making pattern pieces and not ready to share yet without my copyrighted info.
Psoriasis, how many of you have psoriasis? I do and have for over 17 years. All the meds, ointments, creams and now AD ointment..just keeps it from itching but never gets rid of it..Guess what.
In our newspaper, The Commercial Appeal. we have a Dr that gives out information about whatever a person ask. My dh brought this article home and I read it and now I must say, my psoriasis never look or felt better. A woman wrote to the Dr thanking him for the article about using banana skin, inside. He dh tried to 3 days and it was gone..and only used it once a week to keep it clear. He has psoriasis for only 2 years. I started this a week ago and you should see my calve, knees and elbows..It is close to seeing my skin again. I now have dh eating a banana a day..I use twice as mine are thicker than most people. I scrub it every night and did all the treatments and it never look this good. Every morning it looked it grew, yew grew..it get thick and crusty sometimes if I am not able to put something on it all day. I only wear long skirt during the summer and slacks in the winter when I go somewhere and long sleeve or 3/4 inch shirts or blouses..It is ugly to look at and do not want anyone to see it..When I first went in to the Dr's in June of last year..she was shocked to see what she saw and asked me what it was..me telling a Dr it was psoriasis..give me a break..lol
I forgot to take photos to show the before and after, because I would love to send them to this Dr.
When putting the banana skins on your psoriasis, it will sting for about 5-10 minutes and it is messy, do I care No Way..lol it works..there is cure and they, medical field, knew this more than likely..so if this can help someone save money and wastes time putting all these creams and ointment..I hope so. Of course I would love to show you all photos but I won't..as I am embarrassed having psoriasis..Good luck anyone that does try it.
My glasses came in the morning..so now have to find the time with dh working to pick them up. Well I better get something done this evening as all I have done today is mess around..scan my patterns pieces and try to buy supplies from Dick Blick and still haven't push the confirm button..lol Have a great evening.

Bubble wrap and Paint stick techniques done

I did two different color ways for me to use on post cards background with this Bubble wrap technique. I was suppose to stamp a print on it and than detail it but forgone that.
Paint sticks..I love this technique since I learned about it over 3 and half years ago in Linda Schmidt"s Element class. Every thing was new to me than and haven't stop investigating new and found techniques with new products that comes up. I used all but the metals colors in this one.
I did try doing some discharging with my dye bleach pen and the gel and neither one worked..I of course had to paint a piece with Dyna flow to see if it works..and heat setting it before doing the discharging..I was not going to get involved with all the other things used..done it before.
I did the bubble wrap thing last year but with printer inks..it was more intense in color that fabric paints..and probably always will be.
I detailed all the fruits and vegetables..now just waiting for the weekend when I will have some cherries and grapes to add in front of the few rows that looks kinda off, like fruit flying in the air. I will than use chalk to fill in around the fruits and vegetables will different colorways around them. I will that add a strip of fabric to the lines about an 1/4 inch and thank proceed on with fibers. Than will add borders, binding and maybe use ribbon with binding..Than machine quilt it and add my beading last. It for sure will not look anything of what is posted..love it.

My Fruit and Vegetable Painting Quilt

I worked on this all morning and afternoon. When I finally started the detailing in black, I got very sleepy so went to take a nap and haven't worked on it since..but will every day till the detailing is done. You can see a few on the upper right side..just a black detailing to bring up the fruit to is most. only the outside. I have quite a bit to get this one right. I plan on using chalk, paintstick, and what ever is need to make it something special on my dinning room wall. It looks great there right now. It measures 26x30. I started out with measuring where I wanted everything, so I drew very faint lines with a ruler and then mask it off when putting the paint on the fabric with the fruit..so it would not get so out of line. I knew I wanted the a purplish larger cabbage at the corners..so made sure I had room for those. I use fibers and of course beads to bring out the insides of the fruit..I really can not wait till the detailing is done..

My graduations of fushsia dyeing

I let the dye sit for 24 hours, every so many hours, like 8, I would add another piece of fabric in the pot. This is my motted fuchsia. Oh so much prettier in person.. Stuff and dump on the darker side of pink/fuchsia.
Another stuff and dump..all those different pinks..awesome.
Here they are all four, but actually did 6 but giving sis the others and part of these..I do not carry much pink in my stash..maybe because I did not have any girls..lol but now I should have enough to play with for a bit.

My Wet and Dry Studio-Chat

Now that the awning does not leak, I put my thread mill on the deck by the sliding glass doors..maybe I can get or want to get out more. This is what you see when you look into the room, where the thread mill was. This cabinet will be covered with an old table cloth, vinyl, for my painting and dyeing. How neat this is going to be..I really can wait till all molds are out of this room and off the shelves.. My designing board that will be made to slide from one side to the other side. That way I will have two here.

This is the corner view where both the cabinet and table meets giving me a L shape. and in the corner there are still mold on the flooring and I stack a few empty boxes there.
Here it to the right of the door when you walk in. This table is front of a large shelf area with a little bit of molds on it. The table that gets used a lot and was most of the time a storage lol
These shelves use to be my green ware shelves but not holds my storage boxes and now have my itty bitty table and chair so I can do some other type of work.

My opt. called me today. The people who are suppose to make my glasses can not find my glasses at all. Dr. Reed and staff have looked all over their place to see if they still had it even if they had a receipt saying it had been mailed. So now I have to choose over the phone another pair of glasses to be made.

The Satellite people came to re hook up our dish. We thought we were paying for this service all along..well, we are only paying for not getting the signal and they come out to re do the signal. So it was going to cost me either 97 dollars or 50 cash..I paid cash..so it saved us 47 but I know what these guys are doing, but not complaining, just glad I had the cash on hand. Dh gave that to me to spend on something I might want..a class or some supplies..and I did not use it..had to almost two weeks..lol getting good about spending money..he will give it back to me..lol yeah..

My Fruit Painting Play Time

These are vegetables. celery stalk, cabbage, green onions..leaf of the celery..
Lemons and bananas.
Larger area of the cabbage, carrots and tomatoes..I want more different colors on my quilts so I will throw in other colors to a fruit or vegetable to make more fun.
This the larger cabbage also but over lapping over other colors..really pretty.

These are the vegetables I use for the above. they are now in the fridge and I will do my larger quilt piece tomorrow.
All the fruit..
Apple and tangerine.
Kiwi above left, peaches, avocado and pears..need more practice..lol
Orange, kiwi, apple same on bottom and banana in the middle. What I will do for my quilt is put all the fruit in the middle and have the vegetables on the sides and tops..Paint in between all veg and fruit with a contrasting color that make them popped out more..as I do not want whiter or a muslin color background..I already have done the measurements for my dinning room..When done will put it here.

I am dyeing fuchsia and almost done..let it set for 24 hours..and also every so many hours have adding another piece of fabric hoping to get a nice graduations..Will post tomorrow..

There is so much of this and hope you all like viewing them, as this will be boring for others, sorry about that..
